Abstract
PURPOSE The optimal sequencing of local and systemic therapy for oligometastatic cancer has not been established. This study retrospectively compared progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and SABR-related toxicity between upfront versus delay of systemic treatment until progression in patients in the SABR-5 trial. METHODS AND MATERIALS The single-arm phase 2 SABR-5 trial accrued patients with up to 5 oligometastases across SABR-5 between November 2016 and July 2020. Patients received SABR to all lesions. Two cohorts were retrospectively identified: those receiving upfront systemic treatment along with SABR and those for whom systemic treatment was delayed until disease progression. Patients treated for oligoprogression were excluded. Propensity score analysis with overlap weighting balanced baseline characteristics of cohorts. Bootstrap sampling and Cox regression models estimated the association of delayed systemic treatment with PFS, OS, and grade ≥2 toxicity. RESULTS A total of 319 patients with oligometastases underwent treatment on SABR-5, including 121 (38%) and 198 (62%) who received upfront and delayed systemic treatment, respectively. In the weighted sample, prostate cancer was the most common primary tumor histology (48%) followed by colorectal (18%), breast (13%), and lung (4%). Most patients (93%) were treated for 1 to 2 metastases. The median follow-up time was 34 months (IQR, 24-45). Delayed systemic treatment was associated with shorter PFS (hazard ratio [HR], 1.56; 95% CI, 1.15-2.13; P = .005) but similar OS (HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.51-1.59; P = .65) compared with upfront systemic treatment. Risk of grade 2 or higher SABR-related toxicity was reduced with delayed systemic treatment (odds ratio, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.15-0.70; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS Delayed systemic treatment is associated with shorter PFS without reduction in OS and with reduced SABR-related toxicity and may be a favorable option for select patients seeking to avoid initial systemic treatment. Efforts should continue to accrue patients to histology-specific trials examining a delayed systemic treatment approach.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate longitudinal patient-reported quality of life (QoL) in patients treated with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for oligometastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS The SABR-5 trial was a population-based single-arm phase II study of SABR to up to five sites of oligometastases, conducted in six regional cancer centres in British Columbia, Canada from 2016 to 2020. Prospective QoL was measured using treatment site-specific QoL questionnaires at pre-treatment baseline and at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30 and 36 months after treatment. Patients with bone metastases were assessed with the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Patients with liver, adrenal and abdominopelvic lymph node metastases were assessed with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Abdominal Discomfort (FACIT-AD). Patients with lung and intrathoracic lymph node metastases were assessed with the Prospective Outcomes and Support Initiative (POSI) lung questionnaire. The two one-sided test procedure was used to assess equivalence between the worst QoL score and the baseline score of individual patients. The mean QoL at all time points was used to determine the trajectory of QoL response after SABR. The proportion of patients with 'stable', 'improved' or 'worsened' QoL was determined for all time points based on standard minimal clinically important differences (MCID; BPI worst pain = 2, BPI functional interference score [FIS] = 0.5, FACIT-AD Trial Outcome Index [TOI] = 8, POSI = 3). RESULTS All enrolled patients with baseline QoL assessment and at least one follow-up assessment were analysed (n = 133). On equivalence testing, the patients' worst QoL scores were clinically different from baseline scores and met MCID (BPI worst pain mean difference: 1.8, 90% confidence interval 1.19 to 2.42]; BPI FIS mean difference: 1.68, 90% confidence interval 1.15 to 2.21; FACIT-AD TOI mean difference: -8.76, 90% confidence interval -11.29 to -6.24; POSI mean difference: -4.61, 90% confidence interval -6.09 to -3.14). However, the mean FIS transiently worsened at 9, 18 and 21 months but eventually returned to stable levels. The mean FACIT and POSI scores also worsened at 36 months, albeit with a limited number of responses (n = 4 and 8, respectively). Most patients reported stable QoL at all time points (range: BPI worst pain 71-82%, BPI FIS 45-78%, FACIT-AD TOI 50-100%, POSI 25-73%). Clinically significant stability, worsening and improvement were seen in 70%/13%/18% of patients at 3 months, 53%/28%/19% at 18 months and 63%/25%/13% at 36 months. CONCLUSIONS Transient decreases in QoL that met MCID were seen between patients' worst QoL scores and baseline scores. However, most patients experienced stable QoL relative to pre-treatment levels on long-term follow-up. Further studies are needed to characterise patients at greatest risk for decreased QoL.

Abstract
AIMS Most patients experience stable quality of life (QoL) after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) treatment for oligometastases. However, a subset of patients experience clinically relevant declines in QoL on post-treatment follow-up. This study aimed to identify risk factors for QoL decline. MATERIALS AND METHODS The SABR-5 trial was a population-based single-arm phase II study of SABR to up to five sites of oligometastases. Prospective QoL was measured using treatment site-specific tools at pre-treatment baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30 and 36 months after treatment. The time to persistent QoL decline was calculated as the time from SABR to the first decline in QoL score meeting minimum clinically important difference with no improvement to baseline score on subsequent assessments. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were carried out to determine factors associated with QoL decline. RESULTS One hundred and thirty-three patients were included with a median follow-up of 32 months (interquartile range 25-43). Thirty-five patients (26%) experienced a persistent decline in QoL. The median time until persistent QoL decline was not reached. The cumulative incidence of QoL decline at 2 and 3 years were 22% (95% confidence interval 14.0-29.6) and 40% (95% confidence interval 28.0-51.2), respectively. In multivariable analysis, disease progression (odds ratio 5.23, 95% confidence interval 1.59-17.47, P = 0.007) and adrenal metastases (odds ratio 9.70, 95% confidence interval 1.41-66.93, P = 0.021) were associated with a higher risk of QoL decline. Grade 3 or higher (odds ratio 3.88, 95% confidence interval 0.92-16.31, P = 0.064) and grade 2 or higher SABR-associated toxicity (odds ratio 2.24, 95% confidence interval 0.85-5.91, P = 0.10) were associated with an increased risk of QoL decline but did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS Disease progression and adrenal lesion site were associated with persistent QoL decline following SABR. The development of grade 3 or higher toxicities was also associated with an increased risk, albeit not statistically significant. Further studies are needed, focusing on the QoL impact of metastasis-directed therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy delivery regimens can vary between a single fraction (SF) and multiple fractions (MF) given daily for up to several weeks depending on the location of the cancer or metastases. With limited evidence comparing fractionation regimens for oligometastases, there is support to explore toxicity levels to nearby organs at risk as a primary outcome while using SF and MF stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) as well as explore differences in patient-reported quality of life and experience. METHODS This study will randomize 598 patients in a 1:1 ratio between the standard arm (MF SABR) and the experimental arm (SF SABR). This trial is designed as two randomized controlled trials within one patient population for resource efficiency. The primary objective of the first randomization is to determine if SF SABR is non-inferior to MF SABR, with respect to healthcare provider (HCP)-reported grade 3-5 adverse events (AEs) that are related to SABR. Primary endpoint is toxicity while secondary endpoints include lesional control rate (LCR), and progression-free survival (PFS). The second randomization (BC Cancer sites only) will allocate participants to either complete quality of life (QoL) questionnaires only; or QoL questionnaires and a symptom-specific survey with symptom-guided HCP intervention. The primary objective of the second randomization is to determine if radiation-related symptom questionnaire-guided HCP intervention results in improved reported QoL as measured by the EuroQoL-5-dimensions-5levels (EQ-5D-5L) instrument. The primary endpoint is patient-reported QoL and secondary endpoints include: persistence/resolution of symptom reporting, QoL, intervention cost effectiveness, resource utilization, and overall survival. DISCUSSION This study will compare SF and MF SABR in the treatment of oligometastases and oligoprogression to determine if there is non-inferior toxicity for SF SABR in selected participants with 1-5 oligometastatic lesions. This study will also compare patient-reported QoL between participants who receive radiation-related symptom-guided HCP intervention and those who complete questionnaires alone.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To determine polymetastatic recurrence-free survival (PMRFS) in patients with repeat oligometastases (OM) on the SABR-5 trial. MATERIALS/METHODS SABR-5 is a prospective, multi-center trial that evaluated the safety of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in patients with 1-5 OM or oligoprogressive lesions. On SABR-5, patients were followed post-SABR according to standardized protocols. Patients with repeat extra-cranial OM after metastasis-directed therapy (MDT; SABR, surgery, or thermoablation) to all initial OM (including those treated before enrolment on SABR-5) were identified. Exclusion criteria included history of multiple primary malignancies and incomplete re-staging. PMRFS was defined as time from presentation of repeat oligometastases to death or presentation of 6 or more progressing metastases, leptomeningeal metastases, lymphangitic carcinomatosis, malignant ascites, or malignant pleural effusion. PMRFS, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Seventy-six patients with repeat OM were included, of which 44 (58%) received second MDT to all OM. The most common histology in patients who received second MDT was colorectal cancer (10/44 [23%]) and in those who did not was prostate cancer (17/32 [53%]). Patients who did vs. did not receive second MDT had fewer metastases at repeat OM (mean 1.3 vs 2.2; p<0.001) and no difference in time between initial OM and repeat OM (16 vs. 17 months; p = 0.74). For patients who received second MDT, median follow-up from presentation of repeat OM was 2.6 years. Median PFS after first and second MDT were 15 months (95% CI 11-18) and 11 months (95% CI 7-17), respectively. At last follow-up, 22/44 patients (50%) were alive without polymetastatic recurrence. 3-year PMRFS and OS from presentation of repeat OM were 51% (95% CI 33-66%) and 66% (95% CI 47-79%), respectively. CONCLUSION Patients presenting with repeat OM after MDT may still have favorable 3-year PMRFS and OS, which may justify exploring aggressive local treatments in this subpopulation. Further randomized trials in this space are needed.

Abstract
Jugular foramen tumours are uncommon, deeply located, and eloquently situated, making their diagnosis and management challenging. Paragangliomas and other benign tumours comprise the large majority of lesions in this region, but malignant tumours are occasionally identified. We report a unique case of a solitary plasmacytoma of the jugular foramen resembling a jugulotympanic paraganglioma. A solitary plasmacytoma of the jugular foramen is both rare in location and in disease presentation, as most plasma cell neoplasms are diagnosed as multiple myeloma. Our 75-year-old patient presented with symptoms typical for a jugular foramen tumour. Although there are radiographic features which help differentiate paragangliomas from other benign and malignant tumours, plasmacytomas are highly vascular and can demonstrate a local infiltrative spread which can mimic the radiographic appearance of a paraganglioma. Clinicians should consider plasma cell neoplasms in the differential when faced with an unusual presentation of a jugular foramen lesion. Our patient was treated with definitive radiotherapy to 45 Gy, which was very effective local treatment for the solitary plasmacytoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for oligometastases may improve survival, however concerns about safety remain. To mitigate risk of toxicity, target coverage was sacrificed to prioritize organs-at-risk (OARs) during SABR planning in the population-based SABR-5 trial. This study evaluated the effect of this practice on dosimetry, local recurrence (LR), and progression-free survival (PFS). METHODS This single-arm phase II trial included patients with up to 5 oligometastases between November 2016 and July 2020. Theprotocol-specified planning objective was to cover 95 % of the planning target volume (PTV) with 100 % of the prescribed dose, however PTV coverage was reduced as needed to meet OAR constraints. This trade-off was measured using the coverage compromise index (CCI), computed as minimum dose received by the hottest 99 % of the PTV (D99) divided by the prescription dose. Under-coverage was defined as CCI < 0.90. The potential association between CCI and outcomes was evaluated. RESULTS 549 lesions from 381 patients were assessed. Mean CCI was 0.88 (95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.86-0.89), and 196 (36 %) lesions were under-covered. The highest mean CCI (0.95; 95 %CI, 0.93-0.97) was in non-spine bone lesions (n = 116), while the lowest mean CCI (0.71; 95 % CI, 0.69-0.73) was in spine lesions (n = 104). On multivariable analysis, under-coverage did not predict for worse LR (HR 0.48, p = 0.37) or PFS (HR 1.24, p = 0.38). Largest lesion diameter, colorectal and 'other' (non-prostate, breast, or lung) primary predicted for worse LR. Largest lesion diameter, synchronous tumor treatment, short disease free interval, state of oligoprogression, initiation or change in systemic treatment, and a high PTV Dmax were significantly associated with PFS. CONCLUSION PTV under-coverage was not associated with worse LR or PFS in this large, population-based phase II trial. Combined with low toxicity rates, this study supports the practice of prioritizing OAR constraints during oligometastatic SABR planning.

Abstract
Importance After the publication of the landmark SABR-COMET trial, concerns arose regarding high-grade toxic effects of treatment with stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) for oligometastases. Objective To document toxic effects of treatment with SABR in a large cohort from a population-based, provincial cancer program. Design, Setting, and Participants From November 2016 to July 2020, 381 patients across all 6 cancer centers in British Columbia were treated in this single-arm, phase 2 trial of treatment with SABR for patients with oligometastatic or oligoprogressive disease. During this period, patients were only eligible to receive treatment with SABR in these settings in trials within British Columbia; therefore, this analysis is population based, with resultant minimal selection bias compared with previously published SABR series. Interventions Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy to up to 5 metastases. Main Outcomes and Measures Rate of grade 2, 3, 4, and 5 toxic effects associated with SABR. Findings Among 381 participants (122 women [32%]), the mean (SD; range) age was 68 (11.1; 30-97) years, and the median (range) follow-up was 25 (1-54) months. The most common histological findings were prostate cancer (123 [32%]), colorectal cancer (63 [17%]), breast cancer (42 [11%]), and lung cancer (33 [9%]). The number of SABR-treated sites were 1 (263 [69%]), 2 (82 [22%]), and 3 or more (36 [10%]). The most common sites of SABR were lung (188 [34%]), nonspine bone (136 [25%]), spine (85 [16%]), lymph nodes (78 [14%]), liver (29 [5%]), and adrenal (15 [3%]). Rates of grade 2, 3, 4, and 5 toxic effects associated with SABR (based on the highest-grade toxic effect per patient) were 14.2%; (95% CI, 10.7%-17.7%), 4.2% (95% CI, 2.2%-6.2%), 0%, and 0.3% (95% CI, 0%-0.8%), respectively. The cumulative incidence of grade 2 or higher toxic effects associated with SABR at year 2 by Kaplan-Meier analysis was 8%, and for grade 3 or higher, 4%. Conclusions and Relevance This single-arm, phase 2 clinical trial found that the incidence of grade 3 or higher SABR toxic effects in this population-based study was less than 5%. Furthermore, the rates of grade 2 or higher toxic effects (18.6%) were lower than previously published for SABR-COMET (29%). These results suggest that SABR treatment for oligometastases has acceptable rates of toxic effects and potentially support further enrollment in randomized phase 3 clinical trials. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02933242.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Recent randomised trials showed benefit for anti-inflammatory therapies in coronary disease but excluded stroke. The prognostic value of blood inflammatory markers after stroke is uncertain and guidelines do not recommend their routine measurement for risk stratification.
Methods
We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies investigating the association of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and fibrinogen and risk of recurrent stroke or major vascular events (MVEs). We searched EMBASE and Ovid Medline until 10/1/19. Random-effects meta-analysis was performed for studies reporting comparable effect measures.
Results
Of 2,515 reports identified, 39 met eligibility criteria (IL-6, n = 10; CRP, n = 33; fibrinogen, n = 16). An association with recurrent stroke was reported in 12/26 studies (CRP), 2/11 (fibrinogen) and 3/6 (IL-6). On random-effects meta-analysis of comparable studies, CRP was associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke [pooled hazard ratio (HR) per 1 standard-deviation (SD) increase in loge-CRP (1.14, 95% CI 1.06-1.22, p < 0.01)] and MVEs (pooled HR 1.21, CI 1.10-1.34, p < 0.01). Fibrinogen was also associated with recurrent stroke (HR 1.26, CI 1.07-1.47, p < 0.01) and MVEs (HR 1.31, 95% CI 1.15-1.49, p < 0.01). Trends were identified for IL-6 for recurrent stroke (HR per 1-SD increase 1.17, CI 0.97-1.41, p = 0.10) and MVEs (HR 1.22, CI 0.96-1.55, p = 0.10).
Conclusion
Despite evidence suggesting an association between inflammatory markers and post-stroke vascular recurrence, substantial methodological heterogeneity was apparent between studies. Individual-patient pooled analysis and standardisation of methods are needed to determine the prognostic role of blood inflammatory markers and to improve patient selection for randomised trials of inflammatory therapies.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to investigate whether systemic therapy (ST) use surrounding radiation therapy (RT) predicts overall survival (OS) after RT for patients with brain metastases (BMs). METHODS Provincial RT and pharmacy databases were used to review all adult patients in British Columbia, Canada, who received a first course of RT for BMs between 2012 and 2016 (n = 3095). Multivariate analysis on a randomly selected subset was used to develop an OS nomogram. RESULTS In comparison to the 2096 non-recipients of ST after RT, the median OS of the 999 recipients of ST after RT was 5.0 (95% Confidence interval (CI) 4.1-6.0) months longer (p < 0.0001). Some types of ST after RT were independently predictive of OS: targeted therapy (hazard ratio (HR) 0.42, CI 0.37-0.48), hormone therapy (HR 0.45, CI 0.36-0.55), cytotoxic chemotherapy (HR 0.71, CI 0.64-0.79), and immunotherapy (HR 0.64, CI 0.37-1.06). Patients who discontinued ST after RT had 0.9 (CI 0.3-1.4) months shorter median OS than patients who received no ST before or after RT (p < 0.0001). In the multivariate analysis of the 220-patient subset, established prognostic variables (extracranial disease, performance status, age, cancer diagnosis, and number of BMs), and the novel variables "ST before RT" and "Type of ST after RT" independently predicted OS. The nomogram predicted 6- and 12-month OS probability and median OS (bootstrap-corrected Harrell's Concordance Index = 0.70). CONCLUSIONS The type and timing of ST use surrounding RT predict OS for patients with BMs.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
The clinical advantage of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) over whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in patients with brain metastases and poor prognosis is controversial. To investigate the feasibility of a phase III clinical trial in a population of patients with poor prognosis, we conducted a randomized feasibility study of WBRT versus SRS.
METHODS
Patients with Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥ 70, life expectancy of 3–6 months, based on both Diagnosis-Specific Graded Prognostic Assessments and attending oncologist opinion, and 1– 10 brain metastases with a diameter ≤ 4 cm were enrolled at six Canadian cancer centers. Patients were randomly assigned to WBRT (20 Gy in 5 fractions) or SRS (15 Gy in 1 fraction). The primary endpoint was the rate of accrual. A secondary endpoint was the ratio of screened subjects to accrued subjects. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02220491).
RESULTS
Between January 2015 and November 2017, 210 were screened to enroll 22 patients (9.5 screened/participant) and 20 patients were randomized. The accrual rate was 0.63 patients / month. The most common reasons for exclusion were: estimated median survival outside 3–6 months (n = 40), baseline KPS below 70 (n = 28), and > 10 brain metastases (n = 28). The median survival was 7.0 months. The overall survival was 9.5 months (n = 11) for patients who had subsequent systemic therapy, compared to 3.7 months (n = 9) in patients who had none. In both arms, the cumulative incidence of retreatment with brain radiotherapy was 40%.
CONCLUSIONS
Accrual was slow and the median survival was longer than expected, but a randomized trial evaluating WBRT vs SRS in patients with poor prognosis would likely be feasible by enrolling only patients with no remaining systemic therapy options.

Abstract
Background Bone metastases in the lower spine and pelvis are effectively palliated with radiotherapy (RT), though this can come with side effects such as radiation induced nausea and vomiting (RINV). We hypothesize that high rates of RINV occur in part because of the widespread use of inexpensive simple unplanned palliative radiotherapy (SUPR), over more complex and resource intensive 3D conformal RT, such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Methods This is a randomized, multi-centre phase III trial of SUPR versus VMAT. We will accrue 250 patients to assess the difference in patient-reported RINV. This study is powered to detect a difference in quality of life between patients treated with VMAT vs. SUPR. Discussion This trial will determine if VMAT reduces early toxicity compared to SUPR and may provide justification for this more resource-intensive and costly form of RT. Trial registration Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT03694015. Date of registration: October 3, 2018.

Abstract
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 mutations are seldom tested for in part because they are less common than other EGFR driver mutations and are not associated with sensitivity to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We report two cases of lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR exon 20 mutations and a presentation of diffuse, tiny, innumerable lung and brain nodules resembling miliary metastases. Clinicians should be aware of this pattern of presentation in patients with primary resistance EGFR exon 20 mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oligometastases refer to a state of disease where cancer has spread beyond the primary site, but is not yet widely metastatic, often defined as 1-3 or 1-5 metastases in number. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is an emerging radiotherapy technique to treat oligometastases that require further prospective population-based toxicity estimates. METHODS This is a non-randomized phase II trial where all participants will receive experimental SABR treatment to all sites of newly diagnosed or progressing oligometastatic disease. We will accrue 200 patients to assess toxicity associated with this experimental treatment. The study was powered to give a 95% confidence on the risk of late grade 4 toxicity, anticipating a < 5% rate of grade 4 toxicity. DISCUSSION SABR treatment of oligometastases is occurring off-trial at a high rate, without sufficient evidence of its efficacy or toxicity. This trial will provide necessary toxicity data in a population-based cohort, using standardized doses and organ at risk constraints, while we await data on efficacy from randomized phase III trials. TRIAL REGISTRATION Registered through clinicaltrials.gov NCT02933242 on October 14, 2016 prospectively before patient accrual.

Abstract
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) can be used as a salvage treatment in selected patients with recurrent brain metastases after previous brain radiation. We report the case of a patient with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma who experienced recurrence numerous times in the brain and was successfully treated each time with SRS. For this patient, brain imaging surveillance helped identify metastases early for salvage SRS. We have also included a discussion of published literature regarding the neurocognitive toxicity of repeated courses of SRS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Miliary metastases are characterized by metastatic nodules that are diffuse, innumerable and small. The purpose of this study was to examine the incidence, prognostic significance and impact of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations for miliary metastases from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients were identified from a Provincial cancer registry (British Columbia, Canada) for the period 2010-2012. Inclusion criteria were stage IV NSCLC at presentation and conclusive EGFR mutation testing. Miliary metastases were defined by subjective and objective radiographic criteria. The primary endpoint was the incidence of miliary lung, brain and liver metastases. Secondary endpoints were survival and the prognostic implication for each site of miliary metastases. RESULTS For 543 patients, the total number of brain, lung and liver metastases were 165 (30.4%), 290 (53.4%) and 67 (12.3%), respectively. The EGFR mutation positive (EGFR+) subgroup had a significantly higher 3-year cumulative incidence of miliary brain (4.1 vs. 0.5%, p = .015) and miliary lung (11.6 vs. 3.3%, p < .001) metastases compared to EGFR wild type (WT). A greater proportion of metastases from EGFR + cancers were miliary for brain (8.5 vs. 1.7%, p = .035) and lung (18.9 vs. 6.9%, p = .003) sites. Only non-miliary brain (HR = 1.45) and liver (HR = 1.70) metastases predicted for poor overall survival. CONCLUSIONS Mutations in EGFR were associated with a higher rate of miliary brain and lung metastases. The presence of miliary metastases did not predict for poor overall survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the present study, we examined the pattern of metastatic spread in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (nsclc) and the effect of EGFR mutations. METHODS Patients were identified from a provincial cancer registry, and individual medical records were reviewed. Patients were included if they had stage iv nsclc and underwent diagnostic EGFR mutation testing. Patients were divided into EGFR mutation-positive (EGFR+) and EGFR wild type (wt) cohorts. The primary endpoint was the cumulative incidence for each metastatic site: lung, bone, brain, liver, adrenal glands, distant nodes, and other. Cumulative incidence curves were estimated using a competing-risks method. The secondary outcome was survival. RESULTS Of the 543 identified patients, 121 (22.3%) tested as EGFR+, and 422 (77.7%) tested as EGFR wt. The incidence of brain (39.2% vs. 28.2%, p = 0.038) and lung (61.2% vs. 51.0%, p = 0.048) metastasis was higher in the EGFR+ cohort than in the EGFR wt cohort. In the EGFR+ cohort, a higher incidence of liver metastasis was associated with the exon 21 mutation subtype than with the exon 19 deletion subtype [23% vs. 7%, p < 0.01; hazard ratio (hr): 3.47]. Median survival was significantly longer for the EGFR+ cohort than for the EGFR wt cohort (22.4 months vs. 7.9 months, p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, brain (hr: 1.73), liver (hr: 1.69), and bone (hr: 1.89) metastases were associated with worse survival. CONCLUSIONS Rates of lung and brain metastases are higher in EGFR mutation carriers, even when adjusted for differences in survival. Brain, liver, and bone metastases are independent negative prognostic factors for survival.

Abstract
PURPOSE We conducted a retrospective population-based study to examine the survival outcomes in patients with brain metastases treated with salvage stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), compared to boost SRS, after previous whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). METHODS AND MATERIALS From January 2000 to June 2011, 191 patients treated with WBRT and SRS for brain metastases in British Columbia were studied. Patients were divided into a boost cohort and a salvage cohort. The criteria used to determine eligibility for SRS were: 1-3 metastases, ≤4cm size, Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70, and control of extracranial disease. RESULTS Diagnosis by primary site was 84 lung, 47 breast, 15 melanoma, 12 renal, 9 colorectal, and 24 other. There were 113 patients (59%) in the boost cohort and 78 patients (41%) in the salvage cohort. The median overall survival from WBRT for the whole population was 17.7months: 12.1 months for the boost cohort and 22.7 months for the salvage cohort. There was no difference in median survival after SRS for the boost and salvage cohorts (11.2 vs. 11.2 months, p=0.78). CONCLUSIONS In selected patients with brain metastases treated with WBRT, survival following salvage SRS is as good as survival after WBRT + boost SRS.
